Annotation	With the baby boomer population turning 50 as we approach the end of the century, and the population in general ageing, there is increasing interest in later life relationships. This article - based on data from the 1996 Later Life Families Study by the Australian Institute of Family Studies - explores aspects of marriage of people aged 50-70 years. It examines dimensions of marital and life satisfaction, family relationships and responsibilities, and attitudes towards growing older. (RH).
